In order to further improve its sales and services, and develop its markets in Europe, Wuxi Suntech announced the establishment of its European branch in Germany on December 12th.

Shuangquan He, Executive President of Wuxi Suntech, said, "Suntech, as one of the earliest China's PV module manufacturers entering the European market, has an extensive reputation. What's more, to further develop in Europe and provide more flexible service for customers, Suntech has formally applied to withdraw from MIP in August 2016. The EU formally accepted Suntech's withdrawal from MIP in October 2016.

Suntech provides high-quality products for our European customers based on the local market price level in its overseas production bases. Besides, Suntech, which has a global network of after-sales service, can provide its customers with more convenient, high-quality and full range of products and services."

With the establishment of its European branch, Wuxi Suntech will set up local warehouses and provide logistics services and DDP transportation services locally. At the same time, Suntech's European branch will strengthen its cooperation with local PV module recycling organizations, and comply with the WEEE recycling rules to provide customers with a full range of services.

Suntech modules have received the VDE Quality-Tested certification, attesting that the quality of Suntech modules exceed existing industry standards.

The VDE created its VDE Quality-Tested seal of approval to recognize a level of quality control that goes beyond existing standards in the PV industry when validating PV modules. Low rates of degradation and high safety standards are essential aspects of attaining VDE certification.

Compared to other industry standards, such as the IEC61215 and IEC61730-2, the VDE Quality-Tested seal relies on a more rigorous examination of performance capabilities.
